Myanmar junta attacks Kawkareik in bid to reopen trade route

Myanmar junta forces launch offensive near Kawkareik on the Thai border to reopen critical Asia Highway trade route, raising fears of intensifying clashes and renewed border insecurity.

Myanmar military forces have launched an offensive near Kawkareik, a key town in Kayin State close to the Thai border, aiming to reopen the Asia Highway trade route. The operation seeks to force the route open by early April, ahead of a planned new government in Naypyitaw. The push has triggered renewed clashes and heightened tensions along the border region, with local monitoring groups warning that the renewed military activity could displace civilians and further destabilize cross‑border trade and security. The junta frames the move as restoring connectivity, but armed resistance and local communities see it as part of an effort to consolidate control and choke opposition supply lines.
